 Hello everybody Andrea Trowski here with dental L tutoring. Let's talk about what happens if you work for a difficult office or what happens if you're working in an office and the staff is difficult. Okay so this does happen and this might happen to you too. First I would like to talk about if you are a temp hygienist or if you're simply just a new hygienist or a new assistant even and you're in an office for the first time so you're new you don't know what to expect necessarily but it's not a good office for you. So just a little I guess background story. So let's say you're a new hygienist or a new assistant and you're in an office and you just you can tell that it's not the office for you. Either the office is just run poorly the staff the dentist who knows just is it nice and you can't wait to get out of there. Now this this may seem like a weird thing to talk about but I feel like we have to talk about it because it does happen. Now if that happens when that happens do not leave the office okay I have actually heard offices tell me that sometimes they hire a new hygienist a new assistant and they're not happy for whatever reason and they just leave. You you should never do that okay because you do always have to remember you are a professional and you can't just leave I mean you can of course but you know the dental community is small you may not realize it but it is small and word it gets around fast if you're a rude hygienist if you're a rude assistant word gets around fast so if you're working for a difficult office and you just you just can't handle it you know who knows what happens just you know hold it out you know wait until the end of the day if worse comes to worse you just simply phone them you know afterwards after your shift call them the next morning and say I'm sorry I can't work there anymore you know just come up with something to say it's up to you I have never had that experience where I felt that I had to leave then in there but I had actually come across a few assistance actually where that has happened to them this week not in the same office but they just feel like they can't work there anymore so it's just something that I wanted to talk about even this past week I was working in an office where they had called me in because the hygienist had left on her lunch hour and didn't come back for whatever reason now of course when an office tells me that I'm thinking oh my goodness what did you do to that poor hygienist to make her leave but from what I could see the office there was no issues things were fine you know who knows right but I guess to make a long story short don't just leave in the middle of your shift you know if you simply just can't work there anymore it could have been because you're a temp hygienist working in an office for the first time you might be a new assistant but just you know do what you have to do for that day and then you could always just call them afterwards the next morning whatever and say I won't be coming into work the next day because of this this this or something right I find that it's a little bit easier doing that if you're a temp because you can just always say if they ever ask you to come back to the office you could always say oh I'm working for another office now so I can't I'm sorry but thank you anyway they don't have to know the real reason why you're not there and it's kind of nice to not give them the real reason because you don't want to look bad and like I said it's a small dental community so you do have to be careful even if they were awful to you you know just suck it up you know smile be nice and just don't show up again you know you you do not have to work there if you don't have to work there right so that's just something that I wanted to say is don't leave in the middle of your shift because it's still a profession right like think about that hygienist who left at lunchtime and didn't come back all of those patients that she was supposed to see probably took the day off work they had other things that they had to do and then the office has to call them and say oh our hygienist didn't show up so sorry we don't have a hygienist for you I mean I'm hoping that they didn't actually tell the patients that but you know what I mean so always be a professional at all times but let's just say that you are in an office and you just simply don't like it you know that it's not a good fit for you and you just don't like it there's no harm in looking for something else while you are working in an office that is okay just simply look for something else there's always something else out there you just have to know where to look if you work a nine to five every day there is just still always time to look for something else if you have another interview at another office just take that day off you know do what you have to do but if you don't like the office just look for something else it will give you something to look forward to and then as soon as you find something else there is no harm in leaving that office it's a nice idea to give two weeks notice you never have to do that but it's always a nice idea to do that if you can but yeah you guys there's no harm in just looking for something else so I hope this helped if you if you find yourself you're in the position where you are in an office that you don't really like or you think it's just horrible look for something else if you're a temp hygienist the nice thing about being a temp is that if you work for one office and you're like wow I could not work here again then you don't have to just look for something else so I hope this helped if you guys have any questions about you know how things can be difficult sometimes in other offices let me know feel free to share your experiences I would love to hear them thank you so much for watching
